*Tessa's POV*

"Come on your still on that?" I groaned as Calum scoffed.

"Yes you don't do that. He might rape you or hurt you"

"Tony wouldn't do that"

He rolled his eyes not even caring to look my way. "He was drunk, people do stupid things when they are drunk"

"Tony is always drunk but he never does anything bad. He just giggles and asks for more drinks"

"Tessy you never know" I scrunched my nose up at his name choice for me.

"One, don't call me that, 2, what do you do when your drunk"

"Tessy and I don't drink much"

I frowned. Calum looked like a party guy. The guy who would drink a little too much. The guy to be trashy.

"Your lying" I didn't believe him.

He shrugged. "I'm not. I don't drink. But I'm not about to waste breath trying to make you believe me"

I signed knowing Calum was getting In a slightly bad mood.

"Whatever"

The room grew quiet as neither of us spoke to each other.

I finally spoke. "Well you drunk last night"

Calum turned the Tv up a little louder as I spoke. "Calum!"

"What"

"I was talking to you!" Annoyance was spread across his face like butter on toast.

I sat there looking at him even though I knew he wasn't paying me no mind.

"I said I don't drink much, I may have a drink or two but not enough to get me drunk off my ass"

"Oh"

It's been over a week since Tony came stumbling into my house drunker than drunk. I mean obviously I was use to it, that's what he always does and I don't blame him. He doesn't deserve the way he gets treated at home. But Calum's thoughts were different for the situation.

He felt as if Tony would hurt me being drunk. I honestly didn't see why he cared much about it but he said and I quote:

"No one should be hurt that way"

Again which I didn't get since he was a murderer. I may not say much about it but it still bothers me that he's staying with me. Especially when he's mad about anything.

I'm not scared of Tony hurting me, I'm scared of Calum hurting me.

I honestly didn't know how I was going to get through with him around but I've been ok so far... So far.

"Why are we here again?" Calum asked as we walked into target.

I shrugged getting a red cart and pushing it.

"If your gonna come with me stop complaining about the places I go" I shot at him making him raise one eyebrow.

Calum slowly crept behind me and gripped me close to him bringing his lips down to my  ear.

"might wanna watch your tone"

I removed his hand from my bare side since his hand slid under my shirt a bit.

He removed his body away from mine making me let out a sigh.

I stopped at the clothes part and grabbed a few pairs of leggings and some lose long sleeve crop tops.

Calum frowned once I put it in the cart. "Why do you you have 3 pairs of black leggings?"

I laughed at his question. "The same reason you got more that 3 pairs of black pants, you need plenty" I smiled now looking at bathing suits.

"Wow good comparison" the sarcasm rolled of his tongue way better than words did.

I saw a nice blue and black two piece which was on sale.

I threw those in the cart as well.

Calum picked up the bottoms smirking. "And who's gonna see you in this"

My cheeks burned a bit as I tried to get them out of his hand but he lifted them all the way up.

See now this is why I hate being 5'4 because Calum is a tower and I can't reach that high.

"Give it back Calum!" His smirk only got bigger.

"How about no"

I started hitting Calum's chest trying to make him give them to me. Especially since people were staring.

I mean who wouldn't? Look at the picture; A murderer holding up bathing suit bottoms, and a girl basically against him trying to get them down. Yeah...

He finally put them back in the cart and we were able to continue shopping.

"Do you want to go to the beach?" I asked Calum randomly as I was looking at CDs.

"Woah your actually inviting me somewhere? Not being ashamed of me?! Woah that's a first" He said a little shocked while I was taken back.

I immediately felt bad not realizing how he was feeling.

Even though I really didn't do anything wrong I still felt bad. That's who I am. I hate being the cause of someone Being sad.

"I mean yeah, Chantel, Evan and I were going today and I thought you might actually enjoy not being in the house."

Calum chuckled. "I don't know, I don't think that's a good idea"

I nodded a little disappointed yet relived he wasn't going.

"Ok"

I continued to look at things until he spoke up again. "Wait are you wearing this?"

He pointed at the bathing suit I bought and I nodded.

"I'm going"

Well guys after this chapter it will be much more exciting so stay tuned :))
